Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 201 The Underworld and the Human Realm, the Fruit of a Hundred Causes

The Wild Goose Ghost King held the bowl of porridge in his hands, his chest still trembling.

An indescribable sense of exhilaration made him, despite his inability to speak clearly, urge the intense emotions in his chest to pick up the bowl of porridge in his hand and drink it down in one gulp.

At the same time, the Heavenly Book of the Food Cauldron opened beside Chen Xu.

[You used food to express your emotions, and used emotions to preach the Way, prompting the Ghost King to clearly discern his ghostly heart, achieving enlightenment in a single night and receiving the reward of a hundred causes and effects.]

[Unlock new spiritual materials, reward: Fireworks Points +300]

[The Fruit of a Hundred Causes: When cooked, this fruit is steamed and dried nine times. After consumption, within fifteen minutes, it allows one to trace back the path of cause and effect to a single enemy, and then cast a spell to slay them from afar.]

……

Chen Xu initially only glanced at the entry for the Hundred Causes Fruit, and didn't pay much attention to it at first glance.

It wasn't until his gaze swept over the object and he came to his senses a second time that Chen Xu suddenly felt an extraordinary sense of surprise and delight.

The fruit of a hundred causes!

It may sound like a similar spiritual material to the Fruit of a Hundred Evils, but in reality, the wonder of the Fruit of a Hundred Evils is completely beyond imagination.

The appearance of the Hundred Causes Fruit is just the beginning.

The Wild Goose Ghost King drank the porridge in the bowl in one gulp, as if it were fine wine.

After drinking, tears streamed down his face.

Chen Xu's finger suddenly twitched.

He took out a porcelain bottle with his left hand, and with a sudden flick of his right hand using spirit control magic, the torrent of Ghost King's Tears, before they could even fall to the ground of the Ghost Market, were invisibly drawn into the porcelain bottle.

Tinkling sounds, like tears falling from a ghost's eyes.

The Wild Goose Ghost King was stunned for a moment.

He looked up at Chen Xu.

Chen Xu unabashedly handed the porcelain bottle to the Wild Goose Ghost King, saying, "The Ghost King's Tears are a rare treasure of the world. Would you like to collect it, brother?"

The Wild Goose Ghost King misspoke for a moment, and it took him a while to find his voice. He said with a slightly strained tone, "If you like such an item, then I will give it to you."

Chen Xu then took the porcelain bottle.

The entry states: [Tears of the Ghost King, containing the deepest emotions of life and death, when added to spiritual food, can stimulate the diner's thoughts, leading to enlightenment or the resolution of doubts; there is also a very small chance that it will cause the diner to become possessed by demons.]

Chen Xu discovered that many ingredients have two sides.

Just like things in the world, there is positive and there is negative, there is yin and there is yang, high and low are opposites, and positive and negative alternate.

To truly walk the path of the God of Cookery, one must first understand this point.

After his agitated emotions subsided slightly, the Wild Goose Ghost King looked up and let out a long sigh. He then picked up a wooden spoon and scooped a bowl of porridge for himself.

This time, he ate carefully and savored it slowly.

After taking a few bites, he paused, seemingly savoring the past events in the porridge.

After an unknown amount of time, he sighed and said, "This is the taste... In the past, a bowl of brown rice porridge like this was a rare delicacy in my life."

Later, although I was constantly on the move, I was able to afford to eat plain rice porridge.

But no matter how delicious the porridge is, it can never compare to a bowl of brown rice porridge.

Now that I'm a ghost, even the simplest earthly food is a luxury.

【Like +1000】

As expected of the Ghost King of the Netherworld, compared to self-proclaimed Ghost Kings like Xie Huaizheng, the Wild Goose Ghost King's praise directly gave Chen Xu 1000 likes.

His strength rivals that of a great Confucian scholar; he is truly unfathomable!

Finally, the Wild Goose Ghost King also took the earthenware jar that Chen Xu used to cook porridge.

The ghost king spoke with a slightly hesitant, resonant tone, "The sun and moon pass by, time waits for no one. Only affection remains, untouched by romance..."

After reading it, he sighed and said, "I haven't read much, so I don't really understand the ways of you scholars."

But I understood this sentence clearly; the beauty of its language truly struck the heart of the dead.

I have wasted many years in the underworld, yet I never knew that I always longed for the human world.

Perhaps it's time for me to go back to the human world and take a look.

My arduous cultivation in the netherworld has failed to advance my cultivation even slightly.

"I want to be a human being, even though I have the body of a ghost..." As soon as he finished speaking, the Wild Goose Ghost King suddenly smiled at Chen Xu.

He had a blue face and fangs, and his smile was truly ferocious, but his tone was light and amusing:

"Brother Ghost, who knows when we'll meet again after this parting? Won't you let me see your true face?"

what?
Now it was Chen Xu's turn to be taken aback.

The Wild Goose Ghost King actually saw through his appearance as a hanged ghost, realizing it wasn't his true face.
Yes, after all, he is the true Ghost King.

Chen Xu immediately laughed. He stood up casually and suddenly ripped off half of the puppet's painted skin from above his head.

Facing the Wild Goose Ghost King, he revealed a pale and handsome face, exuding a living aura.

He's a living person, not a ghost!

If it weren't for the influence of the Wild Goose Ghost King's aura, the other ghosts in the Ghost Market would have overlooked this place. Chen Xu's act of revealing his face would likely have caused a huge uproar in the Yellow Springs Ghost Market.

Despite the barrier of their respective domains, Chen Xu's decisiveness and boldness still left the Ghost King stunned for a moment.

A moment later, the Wild Goose Ghost King burst into laughter.

He stood up, and with a flick of his sleeve, all the items on the stall were instantly rolled up by a tablecloth and tied into a small gray cloth bundle.

The Wild Goose Ghost King shoved the entire package directly into Chen Xu's hands and said loudly:

“My whole life has been bound.”

Even though he possessed a certain amount of courage in life and retained some stubbornness after death, and achieved some minor cultivation, he never, for some reason, truly opened his heart and did anything freely and naturally.

You are more carefree than me; you are truly a dragon among men!

These items were then given to you in full, as previously agreed.

My name is Ding Yang, and my nickname is Wild Goose Feather Ghost King. May I ask your name, sir?

Chen Xu calmly replied, "I am Chen Xu, from Yunjiang Prefecture. I have met Brother Ding."

After he finished speaking, he put the puppet's mask back on, which he had only partially removed.

The Wild Goose Ghost King recited Chen Xu's name and said, "I have memorized your name, brother. Now that we have exchanged names, we will naturally meet again in the mortal world."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly drew the goose-feather knife from his waist.

The speed and skill of this sword draw were as swift as a gazelle leaping off a cliff, truly devoid of any trace of cunning or malice.

Even with Chen Xu's current spiritual strength, he only saw the Wild Goose Ghost King casually swing a slash.

As for the true meaning of this strike, Chen Xu could understand about three-tenths of it.

He only saw that the sword strike directly cleaved into the weakest point in the Netherworld.

Do not--

Perhaps it shouldn't be said that this strike hit the weakest point in the barrier between the two worlds.

Instead, when this strike was made, an extremely weak point appeared directly between the two seemingly mutually blocking worlds of Yin and Yang.

At the same time, the Wild Goose Ghost King's strike cleaved through this weakness in the nick of time.

Swish!
A strange void appeared beneath the dim yellow sky.

Outside the void, there seemed to be a faint darkness, or perhaps an endless clamor.

The Wild Goose Ghost King laughed heartily and said cheerfully, "Brother Chen, I'm going to the mortal realm!"

Having said that, he lifted one foot and stepped into the empty space in front of him.

However, in an instant, he disappeared into the Ghost Market of the Underworld.

The hole he cleaved open then disappeared into the dim, yellow mist of the ghost market, as if it had never existed.

The tray ghost watching was dumbfounded. It couldn't process what was happening and could only stammer, "He, he, he... the Ghost King... he actually went to the human world?"

And it's not just the Ghost King who's going to the human world.

Just as the Wild Goose Ghost King disappeared, Chen Xu suddenly made his move.

He tossed out the beckoning bead hidden in his palm, instantly capturing the tray ghost and the short ghost together inside.

Then, holding the pearl in his hand, he stepped back to the human world.
